[Bug 1289331] Re: package libpam-modules 1.1.3-8ubuntu3 failed to install/upgrade: ErrorMessage: pre-dependency problem - not installing libpam-modules:amd64

>From the logs, the root of this error is:

Stopped glibc upgrade.  Please retry the upgrade after you have
checked or stopped services by hand.
dpkg: error processing /var/cache/apt/archives/libc6_2.17-93ubuntu4_i386.deb (--unpack):
 subprocess new pre-installation script returned error exit status 1

We really shouldn't be asking users this debconf question as part of a
foreign libc upgrade.  Triaging as "low", however, since the problem
occurred only because you answered the question inconsistently for
libc6:amd64 vs. libc6:i386, and in the common case users will not be
shown this question at all.

** Package changed: pam (Ubuntu) => eglibc (Ubuntu)

Bug description:
  Multiple errors after upgrading from 12.10 to 13.10. Lubuntu, after
  announcing a group of error reports, allowed login, but no menu panel
  appears. A right click exposes a menu (openbox?) that allows an
  instance of lxterminal, but, little else. Had to start web browser
  from command line. Did a "wajig install lxde" to get a menu.
